Prevent chat window background color change?

Prevent chat window background color change?

[14.0.8064.206]

I don't know if this is an extremely new feature or if everyone I chat with
has the same background color, but today for the first time a chat window
opened when a friend messaged me and it did not use the same color as my
default background, but rather the SENDER's color.

DO NOT WANT!!!

I looked through Tools | Options and don't see anything that suggests
"Always use my personal background color for chat windows." Can this be
done? Can I tell Messenger to NEVER use the sender's background colors, only
my own?

Egad. I never would have right-clicked there. Thanks! It's working, but
you're right: it's too bad this can't be set globally.
